Entrez Gene Summary for GPRC5A Gene

This gene encodes a member of the type 3 G protein-coupling receptor family, characterized by the signature 7-transmembrane domain motif. The encoded protein may be involved in interaction between retinoid acid and G protein signalling pathways. Retinoic acid plays a critical role in development, cellular growth, and differentiation. This gene may play a role in embryonic development and epithelial cell differentiation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for GPRC5A Gene

Orphan receptor. Could be involved in modulating differentiation and maintaining homeostasis of epithelial cells. This retinoic acid-inducible GPCR provide evidence for a possible interaction between retinoid and G-protein signaling pathways. Functions as a negative modulator of EGFR signaling (By similarity). May act as a lung tumor suppressor (PubMed:18000218).

Post-translational modifications for GPRC5A Gene

Phosphorylated in two conserved double-tyrosine motifs, TYR-317/TYR-320 and TYR-347/TYR-350, by EGFR; leading to inactivation of the tumor suppressive function of GPRC5A in lung cancer cells. TYR-317 and TYR-320 are the preferred residues responsible for EGFR-mediated GPRC5A phosphorylation.
